president obama is polling better than romney in most of them, but well within the margins of error. that means all nine battlegrounds can go either way. election news out of battleground state of florida to tell you about. early voting technically ended yesterday, but the heavy turnout prompted officials in several counties to extend early voting. people were reportedly waiting in voting lines for up to seven hours in some counties. wow. president obama won florida in 2008, and today the state is just too close to call, as we've been seeing, all the battleground states. right here in ohio, the campaign spin is so fast, your head might just spin off your neck if you listen to hard. each camp, obama, romney insists they have the advantage in ohio. and candidates are zig-zagging across the states at a frantic pace. all ryan rally supporters in mansfield, ohio. vice president biden making two stops in ohio today. so that's where peter comes in. peter, it's a virtual deadlock in ohio with the clock winding down, and some say president obama might have a tiny sliver of advantage in ohio.
